7RailKing NW-2 Operating ManualRAILKINGWhen the knuckle fires open you will hear the buzzing of the coilenergizing and the sound of the air lines coming apart. It can best bedescribed as a CHA-CHUSHHH sound. The coupler doesn’t’t have to befired in NEUTRAL. Once thecoupler is armed it can be firedin Forward, Neutral or Reverse.However, you may find that thecoupler doesn’t’t open whenfiring the coupler at highspeeds. Reduce the voltagesetting on your transformer ifthis occurs and run your engineat a slower speed before firingthe coupler. If the couplercontinues to open erratically, trylubricating the knuckle withlight oil as indicated in Fig. 3.For multiple heading purposes, only one of the two ProtoCouplers™ willfunction at any one time. Use the coupler direction switch as shown in Fig.5 on page 16 to select either the front or rear coupler. Simply slide theswitch toward the direction of the coupler you want to make active.SQUEAKING BRAKE SOUNDSProtoSound® equipped engines feature the ability to play the sound ofsqueaking brakes whenever your engine slows in speed. There are twosettings for activating the squeaking brake sounds. The default settingallows the brake sounds to play while the engine is in forward or reverseand the transformer throttle is lowered from a high setting to a low setting(14 volts to 8 volts or less). The second setting requires that a bell button beused to “arm” the brake feature and is explained in more detail in the“Activating Freight Yard Sounds” section found later in this manual. Thesound itself is a stored record on the ProtoSounds® software chip and willalways play the same brake sound for the same three second length eachLubricate Coupler RivetFigure 3: Lubricating The ProtoCouplersSqueeekThrottle Down FromHigh Voltage To LowListen For TheSqueaking Brake Sounds
